The last time I weighed myself, I was 135kg. I have gone up three clothing sizes since then. I am only 30 years old and am sick and tired of being the 'fat friend' whilst all of my friends are falling in love and getting married. My last serious relationship was 9 years ago.

This is out of control.

So... I have signed up for Lite'n'Easy and am currently on day two. I am joining this board in he hope of making friends with people who are in the same situation I am, so we can support each other.

Will you be my friend?

(I tried to post gifs of Rebel Wilson doing the mermaid dance, and Tina Fey & Amy Pohler hi fiving, to show you how I roll, but it wouldn't let me. Use your imagination?)
